First Movements? Posted: 03-20-06 18:25pm


I am now 17 weeks 2 days (super exciting for me!). I've read throughout all of my pregnancy books that usually you will be able to first start feeling 'quickening' between 16-20 weeks, but I know that varies. What I was wondering was when did all of you fine ladies actually feel the baby move (like it was a distinct movement) when it was your first child? And also, at this point in my pregnancy, I still worry from time to time about miscarriage. Is that normal? All response would be fantasticcc!

I was about 17 weeks when I felt the first movement...Hold on girl...It's coming!! I promise!! Now about being worried, I was scared up until yesterday!! Lol...I'm now 34.3 weeks and just now getting over my paranoia that something was going to happen...I don't wanna say "for sure" that everything is going to go great....But if something hasn't happened yet, you'll be fine!! If you are concerned about anything, just call your .Drs office and talk to the front desk....They can tell you just as much as the .Dr can!! Good .Luck!! Sarah p.S....Try laying totally on your back for a couple of minutes and anything you feel move below your b. Button,(if it's not followed by a fart or a burp), is your angel!!

When I was preggers I would lay on my belly to feel really slight movement. Of course after awhile laying on the belly becomes impossible physically.

Now it seels I only feel her when i'm standing up or laying on my side...Me and my fiance always try to guess what body part she's trying to poke out of my belly!!! I'm waiting to see the imprint of a hand or something!!! Sarah
